How Our Rigging Supports Full Technical Production
Lighting
​
Our truss structures allow lighting to be positioned with precision, whether flown or ground-supported. From theatre productions to outdoor concerts, rigging ensures even coverage, effective beam angles, and safe cable management — all contributing to visually impactful results.

​
Sound
​
Flown line arrays or distributed PA systems often require solid rigging solutions for optimal sound coverage. We use truss towers, PA wings, and flown systems to safely mount speakers at the right height and angle — particularly important for larger venues, festivals, and open-air events.
​
Staging
Rigging is often integrated directly into our stage builds to support banners, scenic elements, overhead lighting, or covered structures. Our 8m x 6m outdoor stage roof system uses advanced truss and rigging components to provide a robust, professional performance space for festivals, community events, and private functions.

Video Walls
​
Our video wall systems are best displayed using professionally rigged truss frames to ensure visibility and stability. Whether indoors or outdoors, we offer custom rigging solutions to support your screen safely and neatly — with clean cable runs and optimal sightlines.
